SOLVE: V2 = 4L
The volume of the lungs is measured by the volume of air
inhaled or exhaled. If the volume of the lungs is 2.400 L
during exhalation and the pressure is 101.70 KPa, and the
pressure during inhalation is 101.01 KPa, what is the
volume of the lungs during inhalation?
The total volume of a soda can is 415 mL Of this 415 mL,
there is 60.0 mL of headspace for the CO2 gas put in to
carbonate the beverage. If a volume of 100.0 mL of gas at
standard pressure is added to the can, what is the pressure in the
can when it has been sealed?
It is hard to begin inflating a balloon. A pressure of 800.0 KPa is required to
initially inflate the balloon 225.0 mL. What is the final pressure when the
balloon has reached it's capacity of 1.2 L?
If a piston compresses the air in the cylinder to 1/8 it's total volume and the volume
is 930 cm3 at STP, what is the pressure after the gas is compressed?
If a scuba tank that has a capacity of 10.0 dm3 is filled
with air to 500.0 KPa, what will be the volume of the air at
702.6 KPa?
